Climax Metal Products M2C-38-S Clamp Shaft Collar

Product Description

The CLIMAX METAL PRODUCTS M2C-38-S is a two-piece clamp-style shaft collar machined from stainless steel with a 2.375-inch (2-3/8 inches) outside diameter. Shaft collars of this type secure rotating or stationary components to a shaft by clamping evenly around the shaft diameter, distributing load without the stress concentration created by set-screw designs. The two-piece construction allows installation and removal without disassembling adjacent components, making it a practical choice for maintenance-intensive applications. At approximately 0.39 pounds, this collar is compact and suited for mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance and reliable axial positioning are both required.

Clamp-style shaft collars are widely used in industrial mechanical assemblies including conveyor systems, pump drives, linear motion systems, and general power transmission equipment. Stainless steel construction makes this collar appropriate for wet, washdown, or corrosive environments where carbon steel components would be unsuitable. Technicians working on food processing equipment, marine hardware, chemical handling systems, or outdoor mechanical assemblies commonly specify stainless collars of this type.

Key Features

• Two-piece clamp design allows installation without full shaft disassembly
• 2.375-inch outside diameter (60.00 mm) for precise dimensional compatibility
• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or harsh environments
• Even clamping force around shaft circumference reduces stress concentration compared to set-screw collars
• Lightweight at 0.39 pounds, suitable for weight-sensitive assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a clamp-style shaft collar replacement or new installation component for mechanical assemblies requiring a 2-3/8 inch outside diameter stainless steel collar.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanical technician familiar with shaft and bearing assemblies. De-energize and lock out all drive equipment before installing or adjusting shaft collars. Ensure the shaft surface is clean and free of burrs before positioning the collar. Torque the collar fasteners evenly and in sequence per standard mechanical assembly practice to achieve uniform clamping force.
